Red Kate has been pounding the pavement in the name of high octane rock & roll since 2007. Formed from the remnants of regional and national acts Truck Stop Love, Wayback Machine, Squadcar, and River City Revelators, the band tips a cap to the beer soaked barroom floors of the 70s British Pub-Rock scene and the modern blues-punk sound that has since taken root in Midwest dive bars and basements.

Red Kate released its first LP, When the Troubles Come, on Replay Records in 2013. It released a 7" split with fellow Kansas City punks, The Bad Ideas, in 2014 and in April of 2016 released it's second LP, unamerican activities, on new KC label, Black Site.
